Wow. The only women who fall for this crap are covered by rule #1; "Don't go to bed with someone who has more problems than you do."

Seriously, this is from some sort of "players' handbook", and guarantees that you'll spend all your time in the company of 'daddy issues' girls. I would rather stick a spoon in my eye than get involved with a needy, clingy, insecure woman who would fall for that nonsense.

At first, I was like 'this guy's from Boston, everyone from Boston's an arsehole.'

And then I remembered that I have a pudgy ginger friend who's from Boston and has plenty of success with women and is currently dating a very attractive, nice, millionaire.

Generally speaking, though, a few of these are fine.

Number 4 (challenge her to something silly) and Number 10 (accusing her of hitting on you) are fine.

Whatever.

I was having a heart to heart with my roommate. He was all 'Brett, why don't we have girlfriends?' And I was all 'when was the last time you asked a girl out?' and he hadn't done it. Within a few months, we both had girlfriends after being like 'oh, we should ask a girl out if we like her.'

The main thing about PUA and all that crap is that it forces you to actually ask girls out. So, yes, going from not asking girls out to asking them out is going to increase your success.

Talk to girls and be someone they like to be around (which depends on what kind of girl they are). Don't be creepy. At some point ask them out on a date. It's as simple as that.

thespindrifter:Ah, the treasured "Neg'"... seems to work perfectly on all the non-lesbo feminazis with low self esteem, but exponentially so if you are 1) rich, 2) built like Dwayne Johnson, 3) all of the above.

In college I was trying to get with this girl, I was nice, polite all that. Didn't get the time of day. The second I stopped showing attention she was all over me. Figured I needed to change my game on this with her, not to say I was a dick to her, because so many guys see girls with only jerks (maybe some are i don't know), but for her I think she was so used to guys doing everything, letting her have all the decisions. Where as I told her no on some things, I took the lead which I guess was exotic to her.

Anyone who says differently is selling something.

That's sales 101: Ask for the sale.

Now if you want to get advanced, you can go to the presumptive sale. This is the equivalent of asking whether someone would like it in a paper or plastic bag, on the assumption that it's a done deal. Like asking, would you prefer to go to dinner or a movie when we go out?,without having actually asked her if she was interested in going out.

There's an xkcd for every Fark thread.

Too bad the percentage of women who could actually be smart enough to pull that off is so substantially small that it pretty much never happens in real life. That cartoon right there is nothing more than a Joss Wheadon "Ass kicking hot chick" absurdist fantasy.

If that were even remotely real, the club and bar 'scene' would disappear overnight. The reason why abusive assholes continue to exist is because women love it. Betas finish last, and Alphas win by basically using this exact ploy.

The real trick is to find the middle ground between being a sucker of a nice guy or turning into a tool. It's a rare skill.

Aw you're cute. How's about you whip up an order of pancakes and we talk about how many babies you'll make me?

Whether that line of BS works or not, the guy still has to live with being a douchebag his entire life, and the best girl he will ever be with is one stupid enough to sleep with a douchebag.

In my experience, certain types of girls actually are attracted to douchebags, but I don't want to be a douchebag, and I don't want to attract those types of girls. They are stupid and have no self-esteem. At best they are needy, energy-draining emotional black holes who deserve pity, but guys I know who were "successful" with such tactics have ended up with stalkers, attacked with scissors, had their possessions thrown out of windows, etc.

Funny how seldom a girl sees a guy she's attracted to as creepy, no matter what everyone else is saying.And for the girls that this neg stuff works on, if you are rich, buff, or have figured out what cologne her daddy wears, you won't be creepy to her.

Wow, I don't even know where to begin. This kind of shallow, trite "advice" sounds like it's straight out of a high school locker room.

What ever happened to treating women (whether you're interested in them romantically or not) like human beings? There's no friggin' formula for romance. It boils down to whether or not you actually give a crap.

Mean-spirited, but I hope the article writer is incapable of reproduction.

Ok. Just read the article.

There is no way that is real.

I'm also confused as to who the recipient should be; some of those 'lines' might, just might work in a relationship, but not as pick ups, some might work as pick ups to someone you know casually, but overall.....wth.

Witness99:I have gay male friends that act exactly like his list (most of it, anyway).

Let's have a dance off!

Deep rooted gay culture is about use and abuse, which is why there is a strong overlap between the gay crowd & the Sadomasochist lifestyle. LOTS of daddy issues, low self esteem, and generally abusive behavior. It's sad to see.

Romance?? This has nothing to do about romance. It's about wolves looking for tasty sheep. Romance never enters into the picture with this type.

Man, the internet is so binary, so 0 and 1, so wonderful/horrible. Some gentle teasing or a funny remark that's not sexist or offensive is not the same thing as "negging". Show some humor, some personality, something to set you apart from that group of losers sitting there staring at her like she's a piece of meat.

People with personality don't pick up women in bars. They go out and live successful lives and probably already landed the girlfriends and wife they wanted by the end of college. People with personality don't go trolling; they sit back and let the good things come to them after proving they are the peak of desirability in other ways. The bar crowd is pretty much just assholes, wannabe Betas who don't know any better, and drunks.

Someone should probably tell this guy that negging doesn't actually work. Sure, sometimes you'll still get laid, but it's more an "in spite of" thing where the woman is also there looking to get laid and she knows she won't have to put up with your annoying habits for more than a couple hours.

It'll rarely if ever increase your chances, beyond just padding out the conversation a bit.

ReverendJynxed:audiblesmile: Or how about being yourself and not a fraud. Pretty pathetic to have to act or trick someone into liking you.
